INSTALLATION
3.1 Initial Inspection
IET instruments receive a careful mechanical and
electrical inspection before shipment. Upon receipt,
verify that the contents are intact and as ordered.
The instrument should then be given a visual and
operational inspection.
If any shipping damage is found, contact the carrier
and IET Labs. If any operational problems are en-
countered, contact IET Labs and refer to the warranty
at the beginning of this manual. IET Labs will work
with you until you are satisfi ed that your instrument
is operating to fulfi ll the needs of your applications.
Save all original packing material for convenience
in case shipping of the instrument should become
necessary.
3.2 Installation
For a rack-mounted model, installation in a 19-inch
rack may be made using the slots in the rack mounting
ears. A mounting location that does not expose the
unit to excessive heat is recommended.
For bench models, no installation as such is required,
because this instrument series is not powered. Since
it is a high-accuracy instrument, bench space should
be provided that will not expose it to abuse and keep
it protected from temperature extremes and contami-
nants.
3.3 Storage
If this instrument is to be stored for any lengthy
period of time, it should be sealed in plastic and
stored in a dry location. It should not be subjected
to temperature extremes beyond the specifi cations.
Extended exposure to such temperatures can result
in an irreversible change in resistance, and require
repair and/or recalibration
